Last I heard the usenet group is unidirectional mail -> news
and was a little flakey at that. Making it bidirectional would
invite all the noise/spam problems that you get with usenet.
You can read the groups on lists.debian.org with a browser. Or
mutt threads mail well. Or if you're running your own news
server (cnews is simple to set up) you can use one of the
mail-to-news programs and take advantage of the news system's
expire and newsreader's threading. "apt-cache search news mail
gateway" shows some of those if you're running unstable (for
the multiword search). apt backports to stable cleanly if
you're running stable.
HTH,
